The commercial convention met oo Thursday morcing and organized by the appointment of \V. H. Thornburg, of Grocucastle, aspreridcnt,.T. S. Hopkins, Chas. Cathcart, T. Caldwell, W. C Tarkington, and J. Mix, vice presidents; and C. W. Coltom and Gordon Tanner, secretaries.

Tlie following incident is rolntcd (o us by a gentleman w ho happened lo be present when Mr. Fillmore visited (ho Hermitage na ho passed through this section of country flftor tho cl ore of his Frenidcncy. Ho called, after leaving the Hermitage, anti spent a few hours with Major DonnoKon, .who bad prepared a collation of which many of the neighbors partook. Ih the course of tho evening, Major Bonnelson, after adverting (o the fact that he had once bitterly opposed Mr. Fillmore, having looked upon him as the head of a party which stood npon a platform unsafe for the institutions of 'the Sooth, stated to bis, friends and neighbors that ho was happy to have each an opportunity as this of expressing his conviction that he had done his distinguished guesOwkp had just left, great injustice. now manifest that Mr. Fillmore was a far more reliable friend of thc constitutional 'rights of'gjl sections of the Union than Mr. Pierce, for whom he, Mr. ponnelson,'had voted. '.Time had shone that Mr. Pierci; was the patron of the ul* traists who had so bitterly opposed the compromise measures, 'os a ‘final settlement of the slavery, question. It was also now evident that-Mr. Fillmore, in standing by'that settlement, had. brought upon himself (he wrath of the higher lawmen of the North. Under such circumstances Mr. DonneUpn said, he was ready to make all the amends in Ins power, and that as ; he had. helped his Democratic friends to pull, down the - administration of Mr. Fillmore, jho would say to them that he was ready to build it up again: —and, as an uameat ; of Ms intentions, he would now propose a toast, at his own house and at his own table:

• We would c-pecially recommend the succeeding letter from John Y. Mason, acting . Secretary of Stale, addressed to Major. Donelson in 1845, to the attention of those Democrats who would disparage the claims of (he American, nominee as an able statesman. Comment is unnecessary: The letter speaks for itself.. .

Vevay, Wednesday, April 16,1856.

The editor of the Dubuque Reporter-thus speaks of the prospect* of Iowa: "Nevpt before in the history of this nortli western region .of the United has there bc£ a * more gratifying spectacle than tbal now presents to those who take an interest in its progress and welfare. Viewing the almost countless throngs of immigrants' that crowd out'stree(s, apd learning that a similat'seenb is. visible atevery other, point along the Mississippi border of lows, theapectator is naturally led to infer that a general-exoduajs taking. place .io the Eastern Slates of the- Union,aa well as in those that but a few yean ago. were depomi-' nated the west.'* This was in the Fall .of '66. The Dubuque Tribune says: "Daily—yei, hourly—itaniigrols' ore arriving in .this and neighboring counties from Ohio, Kentucky, Inv diana and'lllinois. All are in raptures al thc lovely sights which, here greet their gate , Burlington Telegraphf says: *• 20,000 immigrants have passed IhrougMhe city within the last thirty days; and they are still crossing at the rate of 600 and 100 a day., IVe have lbesb facts from the ferry folks, who keep a sort of running register. About one team in a hundred is labelled ‘Nebraska,' nil the rest are marked *Iowa.'".

The forenoon was spent in organizing and appointing committees, drawing up an address and resolutions, and hearing speeches from! Messrs. Sheets and Kirkland of Indianapolis; the afternoon in the adoption of the address and resolutions, and in listening to sneechcs from the president of the convention, Branham, McCarty, Morrison, and Steele, of this State, Curtis, of Cincinnati, Carter of Cleveland Whitley, of Louisville, and others: and the evening in the passage of resolntiona condemnatory of the purchiise by ’ the State or other banka of specie in Cincinnati and making arrangement, for meet* ■ ing in the, capital the coming week, thb duty of which shall bo the formation of a central society with auxiliaries throughout the Stato for the protection of its :gcncral trade and finances. . *

There were acvcril suits in the Common Pieai Court last week, and the charge of the Judge having been pretty freely commented upon, we give it an insertion:

Fearful Mortality In Southern Russia.

The Court instructed the Jury, that the true question for them was whether the defendant bad been gyilty of a came against their community; that the Constitution gave them the right to determine the law and the fact; that this provision necessarily made them superior to an act of the Legislature, because if the Legislature has determined the low, the jury could not therefore be— the Jury must determine from their own convictions of right end wrong, whether the defendant has been guilty of a crime against their community.

A correspondent of tho Austrian Gazette states—and the report is confirmed by Similar statements in other German papers—that typhus fever is making terrible havoc in Southern Russia. Among the troops and militia stationed in Odesssa and vicinity it,rages with’ fearful mortality,, and is spreading among the population to snch an extent that all tho hospitals and many private dwellings are filled with the sick, of whom a.vast number did daily. More than twenty thousand soldieis arc in the hospitals, and thou-sands-have already died. Among the victims there, were .in one week twelve army surgeons; and four physicians, of whom two were Americans, who had made preparations to return home. ' In the city prop rsome fifteen handled families are plangcd into (he deepest poverty, and committees have been appointed to supply them with food, clothing and fuel; even among the better classes great distres prevails, and.lhp desire for peace is universal. Not only Odessa, but all Southern Russia, in tho vicinity of tho scat of war, is decimated by this frightful scourge. Bshtschiserai.TimphcropoI, Chcrsou, and particularly Nicolaieff, ore almost depopulated. Bessarabia is likewise threatened with a visitation of the disease. Tho number of victims up- to tho latest dates was estimated at not less than 100,000.

Massacre. of French'' Subjects lif Made- -. ’ gaacar. ' *

The President unites m the kindest regards, with your friend. J. Y. MASON. Maj. A. J, Boxelbos.

Tlie following deplorable event has recently occurred at Madegaacar: . Eight Frenchmen—one of them,-’M. d'Arvoy, formerly French.Consul in the Maritins—who had been almost a year in Bay of Yavatoube, working a coal mine belonging to-tho company,, and a great number-of Sacalavas in their, service, were attacked on tho 19th.of October-by from 1,500 to 2,000 ITovas, the regular troops of tho Qnccn of Madagascar, and, with the exception' of one Frenchman,'; were .barbarously murdered andmuiilated. The establishment- which they occupied, and,100 workmen who had escaped the massacre'were, together with the Frenchman, made prisoners and carried off to Emyrno. > . • . - Five cannon, a quantity of - musket*:, and some gun powder was coptmcd by the assailants. The -material damage done amounted to between 850,000. (6 400,000 francs. The Queen’ 'of Madogascar, Ranavala, bn receiving the nows of tho mosaere,and rapture, assembled the people of licr capital, imd read to them the dispatch of.tills General who had commanded t no expedition, after which'she canted seven gun* to betiredjn honor of what she cnlled tho victory of Iiof invincible troops over the French.: It appears from this, that opart from the barbarous nnlrage on Frenchmen, the French flag has bwn grossly insulted; and no dobbtthe Impt rial Government will take duo vengeance.

Tho Gulf Stream.

Tins mighty current, which sweeps along three-fourths of the atlantic vbast of the United States, and whose influence in regulating climates is felt on tho western shores of Europe even to tho Arctic ocean, is at alb times subject to electrical changes; arising from the difference of the temperature of the water and that of the atmosphere. Especially is this the case in tho winter, when in the prevailing gates on our coast, the tempore tare of the air ranges from forty to fifty degrees’ {. Fahrenheit) below that of the M Gulf," which looks like n huge seething canldron’of mist and vapor, and whose eastern and western boundaries arc at such times accurately defined hyaline of watery clouds through which vivid lightnings are continually flashing. These mists serve to indicate the proximity of the * , Gulf, ,, .|»- foro even the water thermometer marks tho increasing temperature, and caution tho watchful mariner to keep.a respectful distance, or, if compelled to cross it/to take its narrowest breadth.

ROBERT DRUMMOND, Judge. The Counsel for the Stale excepted to the foregoing opinion, .

"Bless my stars, mother, look at thatl*’exclaimed a loquacious New Yorker to his belter half, who seemed looking back like Lot’s wife to Ihe’worn out lands of Oswego—"don’t that make your mouth water! These cornfields look as if fifty years old; not a slump nor a stone. Look at that fellow plowing This horse walks.as if’he hod nothing behind him: what a furrow be rolls up, soft os any garden plant, riqb as a stable yard." , * • V'l’H give it up.” says a stately Canadian; *‘I have been looking all the way from Paris, in Canada, through Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, for something better, and it has grown belter all the way. Come wife, lei's get out and go back; you wanted clear streams, and here" they arc; I wonted limber, stone, snd prairie, and I’ve found them all.

The Happy. Man.

ANOTHER NEW BOOK.

Chriitisii o«, Wohxu’s Truu aso Triumphs. By Laura J. Cunts. Price $1. Dewitt i Davenport, Publishers, New-York. The above is the title of & new book, an advance copy of’which has been sent us by the liberal and enterprising publishers. By a hasty re view, of the work, we ate prepared, to say there is much in it to be commended, andvery little, that can he condemned. Miss Curtis is a strong writer,.and her delineation?are generally good and true to life. To Le sure, the heroine of the story occupies a large share of the book, and is shown to be a striking character—but astory without a heroine would not be worth much. .The book will - be forwarded to any address by. the Publishers, oil receipt of price. ; 1

The happy man was born in the; ci ft regeneration, in the parish of • Repen tenet; uulodifc. lle was' educated in the reboot of Obedience, and now lives in the town of Purseveicnce. He works at the trado of Dllligence,',notwithstanding he has u large, estate in the country of Christian Contentment, and many times does jots of Self-denial. IV wears the plain garb of Humility, and lias a belter suit to pm bn when he goes to CouTl. cnUed the robe of: Christ’s Righteousness. . Ho often walks in ihc valley of Self abasement, ami sometimes climbs (he utoumains of Spiritual-in indednc.'a. . ■ He break fasts every morning upon Spiritfial Prayer, and sips every evening upon the an me; he Ihin meat that the world.knows untof, ant drinks of the sincere in ilk of the Woui. .Thus happy, he liyes and happy he diet. Happy is he that had Gospel-submission in hk will,.due order,;in his affectioni-, sound peace .in conscience, sanctifying grace in his soul, trne humility in ilia heart, real divinity* in Ida • breast, the Redeemers yoke upon his neck, the vain world under lift, feet, and.a crpiva of over his head.. Hajipy is' the life of such a person; in'order to gain which, pray;fervently, ibelieve 6rmly, wait patiently, ' love, holily. : watch- yonr heart, guide yonr senses, redeem yonr time, love Christ and hope for glory. A mi3 gentleman is God's servant, the workl’a'raaEtcr, and!his own roan. - Virtue is his business, .Study his recreation, contentDicnt his. rest, and Happiiftss his reward. God k his father, the Church ia his mother the. Saints are his brethren, and he is a friend to all that .need him. Heaven is his .inheritance, Religion' his mistress, Loyalty,, and Justice his two ladies of honor, Devotion bis chaplain, Christian}anily his chamberlain, 'Sobriety his butler. Temperance his 'cook, Hospitality his housekeeper,. Providence his steward, Charity his treasurer, Piety tbo: mistress of his house, and Discretion hu> porter to let in and out as is moat fit.

OtT A new article of Indies’ ’ dress lias made Us' appearance in Broadway, Now York, and, as a description pf it may prove of interest to. our lady readers, wo ghe one we fud in the Homo Jananal.— That pabersays:.- ■ A promenade over dress—being a close fitting coat like; the New' York surtout worn by gentlemen—only not so long. It i*a all tbe rage in Paris, and the pearl drab cachemiro or pelisse cloth are the goods preferred. The cut is double breasted, with four peirlnor passementerie buttons on each‘side-os the: lapels, and two biutoris ■ at the.waist behind, at the junction of the box-plaits and. side seams. The sleeves are cut in the pagoda • style—that is, with very little fullness at the arm hole, 1 and formed to fit’tbe arm closely to ihe elbow, from whence they widen so as to come very large; and floating-af the' n.riaty. where they are turned over to form a round cuffof three or four inches depth.' For a .waist sixteen inches iu length, the’ skirts should be about' eighteen inches lung, and cut in; a regular circle, to sow without fullness to-the bodice; and- still fal l gracefully over a hooped skirt of mod> crate amplitude. The linings are of silk serge, to match, and the edges are hound with fine galloon. 's-Thore are two diagonal pockets" in the'.skirls. This garment should bo ! cut by a tailor who possesses some’ knowledgej of the ornamental art, - wheni jt* becomes the .most attractive and'comfortable garment, for promenade, that was ever-hdoptod.by the iadies. 1 --:'.-i;

CCTt The Indians ore committing the most daring depredations.on the Western frontiers of-Texas, Wo received several Tex tn papers yesterday, -which* were fil led with, accounts of these outrages, We copy the folio wing incident from a letter of Judge Win.- E. Jones to the Seguin Mercury. '.The German boy was a trump: • ‘'On Sunday, the 17th, a German boy by the name of Fester, who resides eight or ten miles south from here, 6a the heads bfy some of the branches of'the Ci.bolo, waa ont hunting cattle; ho found himself suddenly in .presenw of six Indians,: all moupicd. Ho'dismounted, end ,sq did lhoy, aud they commenced. surrounding him,: driving their horses beside them for protection,;as ho had a gun. They shot some arrows at him, which did not take effect—he fired at'one About: forty-five yards distant, with a Gferra an yager, carrying- a two ounce, ball,' and;killed both horse end Indian. Thehall passed through the horse’s flank. The German hoy then mbnntedand pat sputo to hie horse, purr sued .-by the Indians. *, After a chase of about six- hundred yards, finding they were likely to overtake him, ,-ho - threw away his gun; they slopped to get it, and no further.” '

The End, —Information has been re-, coivcd in this city, ■ from an unofficial source, that General Hariicy has had “a talk" with the representatives of all the Indians of the Sioux with the exception of. two tribes ranging about Fort Clark, and that definite terms of peace have been agreed upon between the parties. The two tribes holding out have for some time maintained a hostile position towards the United Stales, and may yet give some trouble. They live high up the Missouri.

The agricultural department of the Patent Office,-in-Washington city, which has done so n>iich good in introducing plants and seeds from abroad, and distributing them in this country for cultivation proposes now'to extend its operation so as to obtain from abroad every , plant, herb or tree which has been, cultivated successfully, anywhere. This will require a larger appropriation by Congress, but, we think that money conld not be expended in any way more, conductive to the good of the nation. The agricultural is the great interest of this country; ; &nd .it has hitherto had (he least Govcirniricnt encouragement—aid it does not heed,— An expenditure of this kind would be for the benefit of every other interest as much as the agricultural.

QCr The New York Evening Post remarks: / - ; v. ’ There is one circumstance connected with Napoleon’s Jimily, which historians have not yet observed,, hot which is : well worth mention.

The number of lives lost is not known..

How to Start Melons, —A correspondent of tno Country Gentleman gives the following plan for this purpose: "My plan for obtaining early plants is, t o construct a rude basket or wicker- work, of willow or .other twigs, something like a bird's nest, witbont.the inside filling np. Make a hole in the soil of. the hpubed of sufficient size to admit the basket, fill up, plant and cover the seeds, rakc and smooth the surface. .When .the; weather, is warm enough,' and .sufficiently settled to r admit of outside planting, X makemy hills, and lift the little baskoU ccntaining tho plants, and carefully remove them to their places, where they quickly strike throngh the open net-work of die bosket into .mother earth, and soon repay all trouble for giving them *a start in the world.' ”

.. A Fiuomekt of Noah’s Ask Discovered m Illinois. •—The Bardfltown -Illinoisan says: While visiting a friend in Sangamon Bottom in this county a short time since, yvo wore called to examine a specimen of stone which ho had lately .taken from a neighbouring quarry. The curiosity consisted of two sand-stone rocks, which were fonnd joining each other in centextjral form, which, when separated, the face of the one presented the appearance of having been a part, of the side of a vessel* near the ganw&Ie. There seems do doubt to have been an over-lapping of the timbers m the form of a cornice or moulding around <be vessel. The work of art is as olein to bo seen on the stones- as on the floating vessel; the holes formed by the nails are vary distinot, as well as the fossilized texture of the wood. There arc also pieces of iron with the specimen, which seem to have been used instead of vaulting between the strips of plank.
